The whole point of the stolen pagan ritual of "Easter" is to relieve Christians of accountability for their actions. Nobody says this better Than Normal Bob Smith .

"You do not pay for your sins under your own definition. You openly choose to sin and Christ is there to pick up the slack. That's it. Exactly what's taught in churches & written in the bible. It's like pretending you're climbing a mountain, but instead you…

My boss is a cruel bitch. Yes, she's my friend... but she's a cruel, mean, heartless bitch. She's also an atheist, so I think she did this as a joke on me. She hired 2 travel nurses to work for 9 weeks who are from the BIBLE BELT; one from Texas and one from Alabama. Between the Catholic Filipinos and the white Christian Fundies, I'm in atheist hell.

We're busy and learning a new computer charting system (I'm a teacher), so we really did need the extra help. But these…

I've lived in Orange County, CA for more than 30 years. I can remember when Robert Schuller kicked families out of their homes and claimed them under "eminent domain" laws to build his new megachurch, the Crystal Cathedral. He then created such masterpieces as The Glory of Christmas and The Glory of Easter in which he recruited volunteers to put the thing together and sold very expensive tickets. These megaplays were executed using many actors and live animals and having attended one many years… Continue

Our Martha (Stewart),

To put dried apricots in it came from,
That is just evil.
[For thine is the kingdom,and the Packers will beat… Continue

There's a lady that I chat with almost every day when the others have left for work and we're alone.

Today, after hearing her talking with one of the other regulars about a situation that was "prayed over", I came out to her as an atheist. She gave me a sly smile and said, "I get it".… Continue

My daughter, age 31, and I just got back from a visit to Wisconsin to visit my son. We are all atheists and my son and I enjoy poking fun at religion and especially mid-western "fundies". My daughter doesn't say much when we're joking around. On the way back to the airport early Monday morning, my daughter posed an interesting question. "If you're so against religion, why do you even think about it or talk about it? I don't believe, but don't ever talk about it."

This is what an atheist soldier looks like at a deployment ceremony during the prayer. My son, the atheist, spent 15 months in Iraq, without a god or gods, and made it back alive and in one piece. He's about to graduate from college and get married.
